China Map

China Map
Author- Ron Pavellas... This map represents the Cultural Revolution to modern day china (1966-1976) The main and only visible change on this map from the Qing Dynasty is that China lost Mongolia's territory. China is colored tan, while areas not under China's control are colored brown. The black lines are the borders of all the territories. The reason China lost mongolia was because of it's lack of strength during the CR. The Northern Border was caved in due to Mongolia becoming a seperate country. The capital of China remained Beijing.

Ping Pong: Not a Peace Treaty, a Game.

This Wednesday it was reported that the U.S. returned from their trip to China. Some are saying it is the beginning of a new page of friendship for the U.S. and Chinese. But, they are blindly saying this without even looking back on it for one moment. Not only is this not a good thing, it’s terrible! A ping pong team can’t make any changes, minor or major, in the world!
            If the U.S. and China become friends, the U.S. will try to eliminate our culture and ideas! This is shown best in the Cold War. They are democratic, and our communism will not please them, therefore they’ll do everything in their power to change us. Will ping pong save China then? Not only that, but if they fail in changing China, a war is bound to break out! There’s no chance of it not happening. And lastly, do people expect an amateur sport like ping pong to unify to dominant countries? This visit was a fluke, as you can see.
            Although opening China up to new things like trade with the U.S. It can be bad as well! What if China isn’t seeking anything from the U.S. or vice-versa, then what a waste of time this whole commotion was to organize a trip in the first place. It just doesn’t make sense, seeing how China has no room for improvement in its government, culture, or economy. Not only that, but it takes away from China’s superiority over the world by lowering itself to the U.S.’s level.
            Chinese citizens should take some time to read this article, or look back on the past couple of days and realize: nothing good will come out of this in any way. China as a whole should recall their past thoughts and statements and try to forget they even made this mistake.
